Condition

Some customers may comment that the windshield wipers intermittently wipe without being commanded to operate. This condition may occur at start up or while driving the vehicle.

Cause

This condition may be caused by electrical noise that causes the Body Control Module (BCM) to activate the windshield wipers.

Correction

Do This

Don't Do This

Reprogram the BCM.

Do not replace the wiper motor, BCM or multifunction switch.

A revised calibration has been developed to address this condition. Technicians are to reprogram the BCM with the latest software available on TIS2WEB. Refer to the Service Programming System (SPS) and Body Control Module Programming and Setup procedures in SI for additional information. As always, make sure your Tech 2® is updated with the latest software version.
